Problem is, in New Jersey a lot of cars like that end up at the salvage auctions with clean titles... its a real problem.
All you have to do is steal their identical twins.. swap VINs, locks and a few modules and whos the wiser?

"...when she SAID she didn't get information..."
That is the oldest trick in the book. If a girl wants a guy's number she bumps him and then gets his number "so I can call you with my insurance info"
Check her pocketbook. I bet you find his number there.

Buying insurance in MA

Is there anywhere I can get insurance in Massachusetts on the weekend? I'm thinking of taking a trip down to CarMax (or possibly some other out-of-state dealership) to buy my next car, but I'm wondering if there's a way to go down there on a Saturday, decide I want the car, and then drive it back. (Assume for now that this is an additional car and I'm not trading one in.)
I know my current agent only works M-F 9-5, but I'm guessing there must be somebody out there who writes MA insurance online or over the phone at weekends.
Oh, the joys of Taxachusetts' weird insurance regime...
(For those of you who don't know, none of the majors will touch MA. Allstate should be renamed 49-state. And Progressive, State Farm and Geico also steer clear of here.)

It's my understanding you are automatically covered by your previous policy, presuming you are in good standing and your coverages are the same. Then when you get home you just call in your new VIN #.
But you should check with your agent before you take off.

So my car is now at the collision center at the dealership (where I purchased the car). His estimate is $1,000+ < the place where my car was towed (initial estimate). Should I be concerned? nj2pa2nc: How does your daughter's car run? If they do decide to repair my car... I'm worried that it will need fixed left and right.

i am amazed how nice my daughter's 04 hyundai accent looks-the boby shop did an excellant job and it runs excellant.it took the body shop almost a month to get it fixed-between the ordering of parts, etc. make sure the place fixes it the way you want. do not accept it until they do.-match the paint. some colors are harder than others. good luck and glad there were no injuries but sorry it was brand new.

If you cannot locate the hit and run bicylce rider, you'll have to collect damages from your girlfriend. When an item is borrowed it must be returned in same condition by law. If you think the relationship is not going to go anywhere, you might want to collect asap... or have her sign an i.o.u.
Don't wait till you break up to try to collect. It will be to late by then. See it happen on Judge Judy all the time.

That eases my mind. Thank you. Yeah, I assumed about a month for repairs. The guy on the phone said 10-12 working days after parts come in. Thanks again for the well wishes.
